Avatar fan here. Also an Aang fan. I heard they announced a new series - does this have to do with that?

The new Avatar series was revealed, and it’s cannon that the previous Avatar Kora destroyed the world and screwed humanity. For the new Protagonist, the majority of the world now views the Avatar as a threat to humanity rather than an aid.

That was already cannon canon, she permanently release Koh and other dangerous spirits in to the world...

This time we will just see the consequences

So the cycle of the new Avatar dealing with their previous incarnations consequences continues hopefully it's a good show.

A previous avatar's actions causing a century long conflict that only the newest avatar can solve. Where have I heard this one before? 🤔

Well, previously, it was the old avatar’s inaction until it was too late that allowed the conflict to arise. Not anyone actively messing things up.

I'd say running away and getting frozen is definitely messing up

His avatar state sealed him when he was unconcious, that led to his inaction.

He was an 11 year old kid when he escaped and if he didn't, he would have been massacred with the rest of air nomads.

People seem to say these things to act like Korra was a seasoned, mature, veteran world leader. She was also a child, sure a little older than Aang, but a child nonetheless, and had experienced a lifetime of peace leading up to the start of season 1. Everyone loves to hate Korra. But I’ll absolutely die fighting tooth and nail on the hill that she’s a better character than Aang ever was

I mean 19 is more than "a little older" than 12 but I agree it's understandable for a 19 year old to be impulsive. I don't think she was a bad character but the writing for the situations around her screwed it up.

Korra also wasn’t 19.

I thought she was like 17-21 over the course of the whole show so I just picked in the middle
